MT Cleanup

Problem

You may need to completely uninstall Pyramix, VCube, Ovation, AMR, Merging RAVENNA ASIO or Merging Audio device driver, for example if you have to re-install a previous version.
MassCore users should NOT  uninstall MassCore engine (IntervalZero RTX) unless requested by support@merging.com

MTCleanup utility is backward compatible, you may use it with any previous Pyramix, Ovation, VCube, AMR, Merging RAVENNA ASIO or Merging Audio device driver version. 


  1. Licenses :
    The cleanup process will remove your Merging Technologies licenses, you will have to enter your keys when you have re-installed.
    Safenet dongle : Make sure you have your authorization key file (.mtk) at hand, matching the software version you will re-install. 
    You can get a copy of your key file in your my.merging.com/ account.
    QLM Security : Please first deactivate your license(s) before uninstalling.  Make sure you have your Activation key at hand, matching the product version you will re-install.
    If you can't access the MTSecurity panel, you can still deactivate the license with the QLM SelfHelp Tool, see this page for details
